Institute of Politics

With the instantaneous dissemination of information, is it possible to predict the immediate and uncertain reactions of states, markets, and corporations? Marko Papic, Chief Geopolitical Strategist at BCA, thinks so. At the University of Chicago, an institution lauded in economic history for breakthroughs in economic forecasting, the student-led International Policy Program is ecstatic to host a leading mind in geopolitical strategy to discuss his experiences at the intersection of policy, global events, and economies. Author of Geopolitical Alpha, Papic argues that geopolitical consideration is essential in industry and finance. Beyond policymaker preferences, Papic proposes a constraint-focused framework to interpret the complexities of an interconnected world, evermore important amidst the volatile and uncertain landscape of one of the most pivotal election years in history. Marko Papic is the Chief Strategist of GeoMacro Strategy for BCA Research. He has produced the financial industry's first discretionary macro-geopolitical investment strategy, GeoMacro Research. He is also the author of Geopolitical Alpha: An Investment Framework for Predicting the Future, which has received international praise for its geopolitical strategy insights. Join the International Policy Program for this conversation in-person in the IOP Living Room, with Marko Papic joining via Zoom, on Friday, November 8th, 2024 at 9:30am CST.
